Resumo
A violência contra a pessoa idosa é um problema de saúde pública, com grande impacto na qualidade de vida da vítima e a pandemia tem contribuído com as situações de violação de direitos. O presente estudo objetivou refletir acerca dos condicionantes do aumento da violência contra a pessoa idosa no período pandêmico. Tratou-se de um estudo do tipo revisão de litetasura com abordagem descritiva e exploratória. Foi elencado que os casos de violência são identificados pelos profissionais da assistência social. Constatou-se que o isolamento social restringe a presença do idoso nesses cenários, sendo um dificultador para o reconhecimento do problema. Foi evidenciado um aumento significativo da violência durante a pandemia e a maior ocorrência no âmbito familiar. Conclui-se que a violência contra os idosos representa um desafio para profissionais assistência social, sendo fundamental a adoção de ações para seu enfrentamento. Em suma, é importante arealização de investigações nessa temática contribuindo para o preparo não só dos assistentes sociais, mas de toda a rede que pratica o cuidado à saúde do idoso.
